How it works

Frequently asked questions

Are fonts embedded?

Yes. Standard system fonts embed automatically; custom fonts embed when the DOCX includes them.

Do headers and footers convert?

Yes. Headers, footers, and page numbers carry over into the PDF.

Do formulas and equations render?

Yes. Word equations and OMML formulas are rasterized into vector paths so they display sharply at any zoom.

Are comments and tracked changes included?

By default comments and tracked changes are hidden. Toggle the option to keep them visible in the exported PDF.

Is the output PDF/A compliant?

The tool ships PDF 1.7 by default. Choose the PDF/A profile in options for archival compliance.

Can I password protect the PDF?

Yes. Set an open password before export, or use the Protect PDF tool after conversion.
